Amid rumblings that his questions about his attitude led to the Rockies outwardly saying they'll listen to trade offers, Ubaldo Jimenez was less than pleased when asked about the situation. In news that is all new to me, the New York Post apparently talked to someone close to the organization who said that Jimenez's poor performance has likely been due to him pouting about not getting the same contract treatments as Troy Tulowitzki and Carlos Gonzalez. Ubaldo scoffed at the notion, citing his injuries and spring training ineffectiveness. However, he thinks he is over the physical limitations and now feels like he can return to his former self.
Would have been a dumb move to lock him up super long-term right after having an amazing season like that..rofl
